Bleeding Power Steering R33 Series 1

[jaymanR33]

Hey guys,

I got a series 1 R33 and I'm about to change all the fluids. ie. gearbox, engine, and diff oil, Coolant, powersteering fluid and brakes as well.

I was hoping that someone could give me a run down on the best way to drop my powersteering fluid and put fresh stuff in/bleed the system etc.

Also there is a tiny little reservior under the bonnet to the right side of the brake master cylinder, what is it and what is the best fluid to put in it and how do I do it?

Please help, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks heaps )

Tiny little reservoir is clutch fluid.

This is the way I do the powersteering - others might do it differently. I undo one of the hoses form the powersteering reservoir, drop that fluid, suck the rest out using a mitivac, put hose back on, fill it, jack the front of the car up, and turn wheel side to side. Easy. I know that my method doesn't get out all the fluid, but it doesn't matter. My fluid was clean, so refreshing it was just for fun anyways. If its dirty, I do my method a couple times.

Do as above and any air left will come out slowly within a week as it gravity bleeds itself out (the resevoir is the highest point).

thanks heaps guys, I'll give it a go.... I got a bad feeling that my powersteering rack is stuffed now too, so I guess I best wait till I figure it out rather than wasting all that fluid.

thanks again
